Hey as long as you are ok with that, go for it. It's just when people come on here and say "how can I get a school of damsels to peacefully coexist with my Peacock mantis?" There's no easy solution for that! The mantis will almost always get at least one or two at some point and some Peacocks won't allow it at all. Mine, for example, won't let anything else into the tank especially now that she's getting bigger. Just this week she killed one of my longest living turbo snails that was nearly the size of a golfball. I recorded an audio clip of her cracking on it....LOUD!
